Weeeeeelllllll my stupid computer won`t allow me to register on line as I am having an issue with my Internet Explorer. :-/ So, I am gonna give you here my Bio to post on the site. Oh, and by the way, Blame ME for the reunion, eh? Gee, I always get blamed for everything!!lol Anyway, here goes: .Greetings fellow senior citizens, Remember, 35 is just a number. Yes, a BIG number, but nothing to be scared of. I hope that all of you have been well. It has been 10 years since I have seen most of you and I am looking forward to May 1st. I have been living in Hillsborough, New Jersey since 1994 and have owned (in "partnership" with my mortgage company lol) my townhouse since `98. My son, Casey, who came down with me for the 30th reunion is now 21 (gasp) and a student at college. That 30th reunion I mentioned is the one that almost took place but it was cancelled in spite of all Bruce`s valliant effort. After over 20 years of being a carpet and upholstery cleaner, I decided to change gears in 2001 and became a Nissan salesman at a dealership in Flemington, New Jersey only to get whacked by 9/11 and along with many other salesmen was "downsized" in early 2003. These days have me substitute teaching here in Hillsborough with one day having hopes of being a real teacher. It`s wierd, I guess, to finally find one`s calling this late in life. But better late than not at all. After a divorce in `89, I never remarried (see that smile on my face??), but I still look once in a while. Speaking of looking, I so look forward to coming down and enjoying seeing all of you again. I hope all of you will register and make all this work that the committee has done be a huge success!!! See ya in May!! Wayne (Bolo) Bromfield Barb, thanks for letting me send this to you in an email. Now if you will excuse me I have to go and commit "computercide". |
Barbara Grinde McMurry |
| I can't wait to see everyone at the reunion. The committee has been working hard to make this happen. I still work at Montague, Miller & Company Realtors and currently serve as Senior Vice President and Managing broker for the main office. My outside interests include anything outdoors; golf, hiking, canoeing. Joe and I still live on the Moormons river. Our son, John is a freshman in college (PVCC) and hopes to transfer to UVA with all due haste. |
Virginia Scott |
| I have so many thoughts these days of my earlier times in my life. I look forward to seeing the Class of '68! I started freelancing 5 years ago. I produce educational materials for a variety of media. Life is healthier and happier because I can work at home. So work for bios. . .let's rock on!! |
Brenda Graves Hair |
| At the last reunion I attended, the 20th, I was pregnant. My son, Benjamin, was born 12/27/88. Having taught for 15 years in Albemarle County (14 years at Albemarle High School) and one year in Rockville, MD, I decided to stay at home and raise my son--it was the best decision I ever made!!! We moved to Frederick, MD, when our son was one and lived there for 12 years. While there, my husband worked for CVS Pharmacy (and continues to do so)and when Benjamin entered first grade, I began substitute teaching and then accepted a job as a science instructional assistant at Middletown High School. We moved back to Charlottesville and I have been the "Attendance Lady" at Albemarle High School since September, 2001. My son is a 10th grader at AHS and participates on the lacrosse team, the AHS swim team, and swims year-long for the YMCA CYAC swim team. He also manages to stay on the Honor Roll and is enrolled in Advanced and Honors classes. He also is working on becoming an Eagle Scout with just his project to complete. As you can tell, I am "one proud mama!!!" Our time is spent taking him to all his activities and we do enjoy going to our house at Lake Anna (when we have the time). I look forward to seeing EVERYONE at the 35th AHS reunion. I hope that ALL can attend. Brenda Graves Hair |

| Barb, I regret that my husband and I will be unable to attend the 35th Reunion festivities. Our youngest son graduates from College that weekend, so we will be there shedding many tears. I had really hoped that the weekends would not conflict, but Murphy's Law, right? Please keep me on the mailing list for any future functions |
Sam Page |
| I'm currently living in St. Louis Missouri. My wife Sam and I have an adopted son from Russia named Peyton. Peyton turned 8 this past February 6th. Sam, my wife, is the Director of Admissions for The Churchill School a private LD School here in St. Louis. I'm the Manager of Business Software Development for Laclede Gas Company, the local natural gas supplier for eastern Missouri. Eight short years ago I was Director of Private Label Product Development with a mail order catalog company located here in St. Louis. I had spent the prior 25 years in the clothing product development field before I made the switch to the IT world in 1996. It's been 7 years since we were in Charlottesville last. We are both looking forward to our return May 1st. |

I have been living and working in Williamsburg VA since I left C'ville 20 years ago. I am enjoying my job as Director of Communications and Projects for WIlliamsburg Community Health Foundation. We will be distributing $5 million in grants for local healthcare needs in 2004, so it is a very gratifying job. My two beautiful daughters both graduated from George Mason University and still live in Northern Virginia. Finally found my soulmate, Jack, in 1990; we got married in 2000, and I added two grown children to my flock and became grandmother to Sean and Savannah. I regret that I will not be able to attend the May 1st reunion and see AHS classmates from 1968! |
Sue Mahone Hildebrand |
| I was married in 1972 to Phil Stebbins and we have a son, David. He is now married and I have a beautiful granddaughter, Kayleigh Grace. She is 18 mos. old. In 1995, Phil and I were divorced and in 1998, I married Richard Hildebrand. We own a duplex in Willoughby. I have been working for the Athletic Dept. since 1978 and hope to retire when I'm 58. I heard about the reunion through Lorraine Wyant. |
| Danny & Jan Mundy |
| In 1992 I was relocated to Orlando, Fl after working for Piedmont Airlines for about 22 years. Piedmont became part of US Airways, and because of changes in the industry, I had to move to continue my career. Since moving to Orlando, Fl we have created a sucessful ballon decorating business, & have gotten involved in several local real estate ventures. If all goes well..I will retire from the US Airways at the end of this year, and will do something else (when I grow up). Maybe next reunion I'll be able to attend because I won't be committed to work strange hours & days that the airline industry require. Dan Mundy |

I am writing this after the reunion where it was
wonderful to see so many "unfamiliar" faces. I have not lived in Charlottesville
since 1978 so had lost touch with just about everyone. My husband of 35
years,Al, and I have lived in Herndon,VA since 1980 and have one daughter
(Ginger) who graduated with a BFA in Art from James Madison University
in May 2002. I am working as the Director of Administrative Services and
Controller for Folger Shakespeare Library in DC (one block from the U.S.
Capitol Building so security is a big deal up here.) I direct the IT,
HR, Facilities and Business Office departments. In my free time I have
been active with the Elden Street Players, directing community theater.
In addition I have been working with the Town of Herndon and the Herndon
Foundation for the Cultural Arts to build a performing arts center in
Herndon. With both parents deceased, I don't have much ocassion to visit
Charlottesville, two of my sisters have moved elsewhere and only one sister,
Dianne is still in town. I really enjoy living in the Northern Va area
in spite of the traffic. Is there anyone else living in the Metro DC area?
